Gil, LA Homegrown trio among final US U-20 camp of 2012

All three of the MLS Cup champion LA Galaxy’s Homegrown players are among the 24-man roster called up on Thursday by Tab Ramos for US Under-20 national team camp, the team’s final gathering of the calendar year.

The MLS representatives make up half the 12 professional players summoned by Ramos, who also include Southampton goalkeeper Cody Cropper, Liverpool midfielder Marc Pelosi and Santos Laguna duo Benji Joya and Daniel Cuevas.

The squad will begin gathering in Sunrise, Fla., on Saturday through Dec. 22. The team will play two closed-door matches – an intrasquad scrimmage on Dec. 18 and a friendly against Venezuela on Dec. 21. Both games will be closed to the public.
